Post by: floridarandy on January 06, 2018, 01:53:44 pm
Will this adapter

Mighty Cord Trailer Connector Adapter - 6-Way Round to 4-Way Flat Mighty... (https://www.etrailer.com/Wiring/Mighty-Cord/A10-7264VP.html?feed=npn&gclid=CjwKCAiAhMLSBRBJEiwAlFrsTjyT3mm36KyeloczT-bLEmDOesX9f72dErI9uI6n1XNJNLpiiy1PmRoCFokQAvD_BwE)

or any other standard 6 pin round to 4 pin flat work on our FT? I'll be towing our motorcycle trailer with lights using the 4 pin flat.

THanks

I could be wrong, but I thought our Foretravels were the seven pin type. If so, the seven pin to four pin adapter, on the link you show, would work fine.

A trailer with a flat 4 pin plug will have two red tail lights without separate yellow turn signal lights. Your Foretravel probably has separate yellow turn signal lights unless someone changed it. You'll probably need to get an adapter box unless you want to convert the trailer to separate yellow turn signal lights... Go to NAPA and tell them what you're doing and they'll have an adapter box ...or go to U Haul or someplace that works on trailers.

Get the 7 spade to 4 pin adapter and try it.  Your coach most likely came with a converter built in.

My 98 U270 has a 6 pin. Threw  me for a loop my first trip with towing scooter on trailer. Bought 6 to 4 pin adapter at parts store and worked fine. Had to look for several minutes to find it among the many other adapters.

Most Foretravels of the vintage of Randy's coach came with 6 pin trailer plugs. A lot of them have now been converted to 7 way bargman plugs. and the adapter should work fine.
